I really don't think you have to assume you lost your nsec, there's been lots of people who lost follows for just data inconsistency reasons, client incompatibility, things like that. 

 Good to know. I am suspecting a client on my iPad but won't say anything until I confirm    

 https://metadata.nostr.com/ can be used to restore a follow list. Some client bugs have caused this issue in the past. 

 Uh... No. That would be silly for someone to do. 

How are you positing this?  

 Unfortunately, not gonna say. 

 pv bro


but yes, nostr variables (e.g., likes) can sometimes seem incorrectly reported

do you know how nsec bunker works? I want to declare my account "deactivated"/unused and rather start to straight up troll 

 Yeah, I do. It’s still a bit of a hassle to use though. This might be a lesson-learned for me. 

 plz plug me with informative resources about full-proof nsec-bunkering 

 This situation happened before because you tried some new Nostr clients. It may be that the new client has a problem with the way it handles the relay's watchlist. Because different relays pull different historical data.

 You can use this to restore your watchlist. https://follows.nostr.com/ 

 Thanks for the tip. I hope this is the case!

 We've all been there. Just an annoying bug. 😁 

 I hope that’s all it is! Thanks! 

 This is probably just an issue with follow-lists. We need atomic follows. (And FROST 😉)
